What's going on?

Why is he suddenly getting married? And to Chen Rourou, of all people? I thought I was just visiting the Chen Family today. How did I end up getting myself tangled up in this? No one said anything about this when I arrived!

Zhang Beixing was puzzled. He turned and glanced at Chen Rourou, only to see she was also completely dumbfounded.

Seeing her reaction, Zhang Beixing understood this probably had nothing to do with Chen Rourou; she was as clueless as he was. So, he looked at Elder Chen, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Chen Taishan, what exactly do you mean by this? Why do I have to marry Chen Rourou? Is there some kind of misunderstanding?"

Hearing Zhang Beixing's words, a knowing, enigmatic expression appeared on Elder Chen's face, as if to say, 'Just as I thought.'

Got it, all clear! Young people these days are so shy. The moment their hidden intentions are pointed out by an elder, they instinctively try to deny it and keep up the pretense. This reaction is perfectly normal.

If it were any other day, Elder Chen wouldn't press the issue and would let the lovey-dovey couple keep their little secret. But today, he had summoned everyone. Given the circumstances, it was better to lay everything bare to prevent further complications.

A smile touched Elder Chen's lips as he looked at Zhang Beixing and said, "Nephew Zhang, things have come to this, and you're still playing dumb with me, an old man?"

"Don't you know full well if there's been any misunderstanding?"

"I may be old, but I'm not senile, nor is my eyesight failing. I can still see what's on the screen!"

To think that at such a young age, you've already comprehended Hidden Force, placing you just below a Grandmaster! You could fight seventeen human traffickers and not be at a disadvantage. Impressive! You have the same spirit I had fighting enemies on the battlefield back in the day!

Thinking about what he had learned from Chen Fenghua today, Elder Chen was both shocked and elated.

As a Pseudo Grandmaster who had mastered Hidden Force, he could naturally tell that Zhang Beixing had defeated the traffickers so thoroughly primarily due to his own mastery of Hidden Force!

He had mastered Hidden Force in his early twenties, ranking him just below a Grandmaster. Throughout history, very few had achieved such a feat.

Not to mention, Zhang Beixing had only half a year of Martial Arts Training, yet his achievements were already unheard of—truly unparalleled.

This not only made Elder Chen inwardly praise Liu Yi for finding such a good disciple but also deepened his admiration for Zhang Beixing!

A prodigy like him is simply the perfect candidate for his granddaughter's husband!

"Tell me, when do you plan to give my Rourou a proper commitment and marry her?" Elder Chen stroked his beard, grinning as if he had seen right through Zhang Beixing. "You can't let my Rourou be with you indefinitely without a proper title, can you? It wouldn't reflect well on anyone if word got out!"

At these words, Zhang Beixing's already odd expression became even stranger. He felt a massive headache coming on; the whole situation was utterly baffling.

What in the world? The more I try to explain, the stranger this situation gets. Great, now even a 'proper title' has been brought up, making it sound as if I, Zhang Beixing, seduced and then abandoned Chen Rourou, or did something terrible to her.

As the picture Elder Chen was painting of him grew increasingly bizarre, Zhang Beixing felt he couldn't let this misunderstanding continue. He quickly spoke up, explaining, "Chen Taishan, you've definitely misunderstood something. Nothing happened between Chen Rourou and me, honestly!"

"Nephew Zhang, if you're going to be like this, it's quite disappointing!" Zhang Beixing's repeated denials were starting to displease Elder Chen, despite his favorable impression of the young man.

Elder Chen said straightforwardly, "If you and Rourou have no relationship, then where did you learn the Northern Sect's unique Ultimate Skill, the Eight Pieces of Brocade? That is a secret of my Chen Family! Rourou has already taught you this Ultimate Skill, and you're still here playing dumb with me?"

Listening to Elder Chen, Zhang Beixing finally understood the crux of the matter and was utterly speechless.

So, after all this commotion—Elder Chen insisting I marry Chen Rourou and give her a proper title—the reason was simply because I knew the Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade! If I had truly learned the Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade from Chen Rourou, then marrying her would be understandable, even perfectly reasonable. After all, that would be considered stealing a secret technique, which is indeed a serious transgression. The problem was...

"Chen Taishan," Zhang Beixing began, looking at Elder Chen, "isn't it possible that my Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade wasn't taught to me by Chen Rourou, but rather something I figured out myself after observing you perform it?"

Zhang Beixing had cleverly used the word "observing" instead of "stealing," and for good reason.

Observing just meant I watched. Then, because of my exceptional talent, I learned it just by watching. How could I help that? This was entirely different from stealing.

At these words, Elder Chen was first taken aback.

Then, he shook his head without hesitation and declared, "Impossible!"

If it were any other Cultivation Technique that Zhang Beixing had figured out by observing, Elder Chen might not have made such a fuss.

But the technique Zhang Beixing had learned was their Chen Family's unshared Ultimate Skill, the Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade.
